~everyone needs a little excitement in their lives~

the UTTER CHAOS meme

Quick! Run! Hide! Scream! Flail uselessly! That's about all you'll be able to do against... whatever we're all afraid of. Um. What was that, again? Well, nevermind, it's scary anyway.

If you're a character in this meme, you have suddenly found yourself amidst a group of people, all of whom are panicking about... something. For the moment, it's not immediately obvious what that something is, but it seems like they all know something you don't. Maybe there's a tornado coming. Maybe there's a sudden flea infestation and you just haven't gotten swarmed yet. Maybe Cthulhu is just around the corner. Maybe everyone but you is mind controlled and trying to get away from crazy delusions of aliens landing and all singing Nyan cat in about fifteen different keys.

Or maybe it's all just a false alarm that's gotten out of control. But can you really afford to assume that?

Will you join in the flailing, try to snoop out the root cause, or be the one trying to get everyone else to just calm down already?

Rules
1. Your character will run into other characters in the midst of the panic.
2. Write the reason for panicking in the subject line, or label it as open for responders to make up. (Or leave everyone clueless, that works, too!)
3. ?????
4. CHAOS!!!!! ~~And, you know, profit.~~

Just remember, when in doubt,
run in circles, scream and shout!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!

[The only problem with science was that every once in a while, it had a capacity to go horribly wrong. Mordin blamed a certain idiot intern at the lab who didn't seem to understand that certain chemicals should never be kept together, or that knocking things over was generally a bad idea. Or that "bad idea" could sometimes translate into "it blew up and made all sorts of other things mix together that shouldn't." The fact that the boy was still alive was practically a miracle, though it did at least give Mordin the useful hint that whatever mix that had been wasn't poisonous to Salarians. That said, he could presently name at least three other species who weren't so lucky.

So now Mordin was running around trying to make sure as few people as possible ended up keeling over and probably dying as a result of this mess, including the people outside on the street.]

Chemical spill at nearby facility. Gas cloud produced. Deadly combinations. Poisonous. Here in a few seconds.

[He nodded in a direction away from the danger.]

Move.

[Yuri had awoken to some kind of commotion going on outside, and quickly found his way out of the inn and into a group of people frantically running from... nothing he could see. Maybe there were monsters over there and he just couldn't see any of them yet? He spent a confused moment looking in the direction they were coming from, then turned to the nearest person going by.]

What's going on here?

[How many times does the Planet need saving? Tifa wished that they took out a warranty on the bloody thing.]

I guess it's a bit too late to ask everyone to leave in an orderly fashion, isn't it?

[Luckily the monster is far away from Seventh Heaven - it was by chance Tifa was shopping in another sector altogether. Mentally counting which materia she had with her, she knew she had to take a stand against the giant monster.]

The others had better show up soon...!

[People are screaming. Running for their lives. There is a very large feline creature running back and forth, fangs snarling and tail whipping around to strike at any who dare get too close. Or simply don't run away fast enough.]

[And in the center of it all is none other than Klarion, laughing insanely. Is he the cause, or merely taking in the sights? Who knows for certain?]

I haven't had this much fun since the 1972 Citywide Blackout!

[Game-jumping into Hero's Duty was probably the worst mistake Ralph's ever made.

He wasn't expecting things to be at this level of chaos and to make things worse, a Cy-Bug had eaten his gun, so he was now weaponless in a battlefield.

The only thing he can do is run around and scream in terror.]

[Whatever is happening, Ryoji is screaming about it.]

Poisonous gas

Clueless, calm, and inclined to protect whoever needs it. Open to anything.

Godzilla attacks Midgar/Edge. Who would've thought he was a summon?

...Klarion is a Lord of Chaos. What other reason do you really need?

Cy-Bugs!
